Concept explainers
(a)
To find: thenumbers of voters were surveyed.
(a)
![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
Answer to Problem 25E
There are 500 voters in the survey.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
235voters are 47% of the voters in the survey
Calculation:
Let the total number of voters be n .
Given that 235voters are 47% of the voters in the survey. That is,
So,
Conclusion:
Therefore, there are 500 voters in the survey.
(b)
To find: the margin of error for the survey.
(b)
![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
Answer to Problem 25E
The margin of error is about 4.5%.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Use the margin of error formula,
Thus, the margin of error is about 4.5%.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the margin of error is about 4.5%.
(c)
To find: an interval of the exact percent of all voters
(c)
![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
Answer to Problem 25E
An interval of the exact percent of all voters for candidate B is between 48.5% and 57.5%
An interval of the exact percent of all voters for candidate A is between 42.5% and 51.5%.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
If p is the percent of the sample responding in a certain way, andis the margin oferror, then the percent of the population who would respond the same way is likely to be between
Now, 47% of the sample voted for candidate A and the remaining, that is 53% voted for candidate B.
To find the interval that is likely to contain the exact percent of all voters who voted for candidate A, subtract and add 4.5% to the percent of voters surveyed who voted for candidate A (47%).
and
Thus, it is likely that the exact percent of all voters who voted for candidate A is between 42.5% and 51.5%.
And
To find the interval that is likely to contain the exact percent of all voters who voted for candidate B, subtract and add 4.5% to the percent of voters surveyed who voted for candidate B (53%).
and
Thus, it is likely that the exact percent of all voters who voted for candidate B is between 48.5% and 57.5%
Conclusion:
Therefore, an interval of the exact percent of all voters for candidate B is between 48.5% and 57.5%
An interval of the exact percent of all voters for candidate A is between 42.5% and 51.5%.
(d)
To find: whether the candidate B won or not. Find the number of votes candidate needs to win if he won’t win.
(d)
![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
Answer to Problem 25E
Candidate B needs 273 voters to be confident for a win.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Based on the above intervals, it is cannot be confident about the winner. Because for the interval that is likely to contain the exact percent of all voters who voted for the candidates overlaps.
Now, you have to find the number of people in the sample that need to vote for candidate B. SO that you can be confident that candidate B will win. For that, you need to find the least number of voters for candidate B so that the intervals do not overlap
Let the percent of voters in the sample that vote for candidate B is p. Then percent of voters in the sample that vote for candidate B is
So, at least 54.6% of voters in the sample should vote for candidate B, so that you can be confident that candidate B will win.
Thus, the number of people in the sample that need to vote for candidate B, so that you can be confident that candidate B will win is,
Candidate B needs 273 voters to be confident for a win.
Conclusion:
Therefore, Candidate B needs 273 voters to be confident for a win.

- You are given a plane Π in R3 defined by two vectors, p1 and p2, and a subspace W in R3 spanned by twovectors, w1 and w2. Your task is to project the plane Π onto the subspace W.First, answer the question of what the projection matrix is that projects onto the subspace W and how toapply it to find the desired projection. Second, approach the task in a different way by using the Gram-Schmidtmethod to find an orthonormal basis for subspace W, before then using the resulting basis vectors for theprojection.
